Online Gamblers

When in Bingo chat rooms, you are encouraged to speak your mind, get to know your fellow Players and above all, have fun. However in order to make the online bingo experience as rewarding as possible, but please keep the following rules in mind:

Say hi whenever you enter a chat room, and be friendly to your fellow chatters and CMs (Chat Moderators). It’s just good netiquette. Learn a few chat terms.

If you spot any newbies, welcome them to the chat rooms and bear with them till they become comfortable with the online chat experience. Remember – you were new once too!

USING CAPITAL LETTERS IS NOT ON. Capital letters are the online equivalent of shouting, and are considered extremely rude. CMs may use capital letters from time to time.
Improve your online chatting experience by using emoticons, e.g. (happy), (sad), etc.

Don’t disturb the peace of the chat room by insulting, offending or provoking anyone, the CMs will boot you out. Ditto for offensive, abusive and discriminatory language.

Keep it clean when it comes to choosing your chat name, or you will be asked to pick something else.

No gossip about other Players will be tolerated, especially if they are not present in the chat room at the time.

Be a good sport and congratulate your fellow Players when they win. What goes around comes around.

Finally, keep in mind that the CMs are there to help you, not hassle you, so please don’t give them a hard time. Help them help you.

Bingo is often considered a pure game of chance, so is it possible to improve your chance of winning? Although there are no formal gambling systems designed to improve your chance at winning at bingo, smart play can increase your chances against the house and improve your chances of winning that big bingo jackpot.

Online bingo games usually take two forms – US style bingo which is generally played with 75 balls and UK style bingo which is generally played with 90 balls. In US bingo there is generally a pattern which has to be completed to win the game – and the first person to complete that pattern is the winner. In UK bingo however, there are generally three stages to the bingo game. Prizes are awarded for completing one line, two lines and finally a larger prize is paid for getting a full house – so your chances of winning a prize in a 90 ball game is 3 times greater than in a 75 ball game!

Another thing to consider is the amount of players which the bingo hall attracts. Some of the largest online bingo games attract hundreds of players per game, whereas a smaller bingo room may only have a core of about twenty active players per game. Obviously statistically, the more players a bingo game has the less your theoretical odds of winning are – however this must be weighed up against the much higher prizes offered in a large bingo game. You may win every few games in a smaller bingo game – but the prize may be an average of maybe 8 or so times your stake, whereas in a large bingo game the prize may be over 100 times your stake.

Lastly, many online bingo halls give away freebies to encourage new players to try out their sites. This may be in the form of a no deposit bonus – usually this is given in the form of bingo bucks which can be used only for bingo or sometimes free cards. Some bingo sites give away free cash which can also be used on the slots, scratch cards and other games which the site offers. In addition many bingo halls will give a bonus either in cash or bingo bucks on every deposit you make, which can help your money stretch further and perhaps even put you in line for that big win. If you do decide to take advantage of these no deposit bonuses – its important to remember that most bingo halls will not let you cash out without having first made a deposit- so these bonuses should be viewed as a way of making your bingo money stretch further, rather than a free lunch!

So, although lady luck will always cast the deciding vote in making you a big winner, by following these strategies you can improve your odds against the house, and at the very least make your bingo money stretch much further!
